Frequently asked questions

Do I need to send my topic work to my tutor?

In the topic pages, you will be directed to complete exercises in Echt 1. You do not need to send these to your tutor. You will find answers to these exercises in the answer sheets at the end of each topic. 


Can I take the assignments in any order?

We recommend that you take the assignments in the order of the course. We understand that you may wish to pursue a particular interest in a subject but we would recommend that you approach the assignments in the correct order. 


Do I need to take the assignments in test conditions?

No. All of the assignments in the Year 7 course should be approached as open-book assignments. The assignments are formative (also known as 'assignments for learning') which means that they form part of your learning and they do not need to be taken under test conditions.


Where can I find the answers to the textbook questions?

You will find answers to the exercises in Echt 1 in the answer sheets at the end of each topic. 


What happens if I get stuck?

Have a close look at the topic page: have you read all the relevant information and completed all of the tasks? Have you read the relevant pages in Echt 1 carefully, including the boxes giving additional grammatical explanation? If you are struggling with vocabulary, have you consulted a dictionary to help you? If you have read through all of the resources and are still unsure of something, then go ahead and email your tutor with your question. Your tutor will be very happy to help.
